Administrative and Financial Matters
Budget mattersIn line with Article 7.2(k), COP 1 adopted, by consensus, financial
rules for itself, the secretariat and the SBs ("financial procedures", contained in Annex I of
decision 15/CP.1). These
rules provide for a two-year financial period, of which the first year must be an even numbered year.
This corresponds to the practice in the United Nations at large. Every two years, the Executive
Secretary proposes a programme budget to the SBI, setting out the proposed activities and budget of the
secretariat for the coming two years. The SBI considers the proposal and forwards a recommended
programme budget to the COP for its approval. The COP adopts the budget by consensus. The
resources of the COP comprise contributions by Parties according to an indicative scale adopted by the COP
by consensus, voluntary contributions by Parties and the uncommitted balance of appropriations from
previous financial periods and miscellaneous income. The indicative scale is based on the United
Nations scale of assessments that is adopted by the General Assembly and follows the principle that all
Parties should contribute to the Convention budget. The indicative scale, as amended at COP 4,
mandates that each Party contribute no less than 0.001 per cent nor more than 25 per cent to the Convention
part of the core budget ( decision 17/CP.4).
However, the maximum assessment rate for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations has been
lowered to 22 per cent. The Convention applies this cap to any contributor whose adjusted assessed
contribution might exceed 22 per cent under either the Convention part of the core budget or the Kyoto
Protocol part of the core budget. Voluntary contributions are in addition to the obligatory
contributions. Contributions are due on 1 January of each calendar year. The Executive
Secretary is authorized to make transfers within each of the main appropriation lines of the approved
budget. The COP has set an aggregate limit of 15 per cent of total estimated expenditure, including a
maximum of minus 25 per cent for each appropriation line. The financial rules require the Executive
Secretary to provide interim and final reports on the allocation of funds and their use. The accounts
and financial management of funds are also subject to the internal and external audit process of the United
Nations. The financial procedures also contain the request to the United Nations Secretary-General to
establish two trust funds which bear costs related to the Convention, namely:
The CMP, at its first meeting, authorized the Executive Secretary to collect fees from operational entities
under the clean development mechanism (CDM) and users of the international transaction log (ITL) as an
additional income to the Trust Fund for Supplementary Activities. In the biennium 2008 2009, the CDM
and ITL are expected to rely on income outside the core budget as the primary source of funding for their
operating and administrative costs. As joint implementation continues to build capacity for
self-financing, it will require partial funding from fees, the core budget and voluntary contributions
until the end of 2009. The types of fees and the modalities for their calculation and collection vary
for each entity in accordance with the decisions of the COP and the CMP. The CMP, at its third
meeting, requested the secretariat to take steps necessary to establish separate trust funds for the
receipt of fees and shares of proceeds for the administration of CDM and the ITL ( decision 11/CMP.3 (130 kB) ).
The financial rules of the Convention apply to the Kyoto Protocol mutatis mutandis (Article 13.5 of the
Kyoto Protocol). In
this context, COP 13 and CMP 3 agreed that the programme budget for 2008–2009 should be apportioned
at 63.2 per cent for the Convention and at 36.8 per cent for the Kyoto Protocol.
List of COP and CMP
decisions relating to the budget
Agreement concerning the headquarters of the Convention secretariatOn 20 June 1996,
the United Nations, the Federal Government of Germany and the secretariat of the UNFCCC concluded a
Headquarters Agreement for the Convention Secretariat, which was approved by the COP in decision
15/CP.2. The Headquarters Agreement contains the arrangements for the hosting of the
secretariat in Bonn, Germany. The agreement was amended on 7 December 2005 to reflect the entry into
force of the Kyoto Protocol, to include references to the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting
of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, and to reflect that the Convention secretariat also serves as the
secretariat of the Kyoto Protocol. The amendment was approved by the COP in decision 8/CP.12.
The text of the English version of the Headquarters Agreement is available on the UNFCCC website here.
COP decisions relating to the Headquarters Agreement:
Institutional linkage of the Convention secretariat to the United NationsClimate
change has been high on the international agenda for many years and the United Nations is seen as the
principal channel of the efforts of the international community to address the challenges it poses.
The mandate to negotiate a Framework Convention on Climate Change originated in the United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA), with its resolution 45/212
of 21 December 1990 entitled "Protection of global climate for the present and future generations of
mankind". The resolution established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee.
Conference servicing facilities were provided by the Office of Conference Affairs in New York throughout
the negotiations until the adoption of the Convention, at which point they were transferred to the United
Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG). The negotiating process was organized and conducted under United Nations
rules and several national delegations were headed by their Permanent Representatives to the UN in New
York. After negotiating the Convention, Parties agreed to continue the link between the Convention
secretariat and the United Nations. The institutional linkage was initially approved by the COP in
April 1995 ( decision 14/CP.1) and by the UNGA
in December 1995 (resolution
50/115). This linkage has been successively confirmed and continued by the COP and the UNGA
through decisions and resolutions since then.
It has enabled the secretariat to draw upon the support of the departments, programmes and agencies of the
United Nations and to benefit from close working relations within the United Nations community. The
secretariat can therefore call on the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the Office of Legal
Affairs and other departments, programmes and agencies on substantive matters. The efforts to protect
the global climate are thus conducted under the umbrella of the United Nations. The administrative
aspects of the linkage provide for the secretariat to be subject to United Nations regulations and rules as
far as personnel and financial matters are concerned. UNOG provides the secretariat with
administrative support for treasury and payroll. The Executive Secretary is appointed by the
Secretary-General of the United Nations after consultation with the COP through its Bureau. Provision
is made in the United Nations regular budget for conference services for meetings of Convention and
Protocol bodies in accordance with resolutions adopted by the General Assembly. The actual service is
provided by UNOG.

Some cases of AD-HIES are caused by mutations in the STAT3 gene. In other cases, the cause is unknown.[1]Autosomal dominant hyper IgE syndrome (AD-HIES), formerly known as Job syndrome, affects several body systems including the immune system. AD-HIES is characterized by abnormally high levels of an immune system protein called immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood. Signs and symptoms may include recurrent infections (e.g., pneumonia, skin infections),

These toys are truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I have a 6 month old and he already has a ton of toys and I didn't buy ANY of them (all were gifts from family and friends, which we are thankful for). Although I wish we had more toys like these around the house and fewer crazy light-up noisemakers. As he gets older, I'd love to add some more sturdy, durable, well-designed toys to our collection that might stick around in the family for awhile.
From our children's vast toy collections several toys stand out:
Brio train sets, duplo blocks, little people sets and legos. Great for developing imagination.

@hrhprincessfiona - Give kids good toys with good design, rather than those trashy plastic throw-away toys, and they will love them! Better, give toys that incourage imagination and creativity that are also beautiful. Right now my 5yo son is engrossed in playing with a hand-me-down Playmobile vet office while listening to the Mouse and the Motorcycle on a book cd. :)
My 5yo son's favorites include the following: duplos (now legos), wooden train set, wooden blocks, Plan toys (especially the airport), Playmobile, his little accordion, a Pattern Play wooden block pattern toy, and his little red racer car (which he is almost too big for). He other toys, but these are mainstays. He completely abandoned his Leapster in favor of legos!!
@hrhprincessfiona - No patronizing intended. Some of those action man figures and barbies are sturdy and built to last too. I'm talking about plastic bits and bobs (think free toys in kid's meals), the cheap-o throwaway toys from the dollar store, the flashing lights/bells/sirens in a box that don't have the child doing anything. There's no need to give kids toys that will simply break when they are played with.
Our son chooses his own toys too. We started with classics, and since he's started to earn his own money he saves up for toys. He usually saves up for Legos - which are darn expensive - so we had to raise his chore money from 5 cents per chore to 10 cents. He now knows what a toy is worth, how much he is willing to spend, and takes good care of them.
PS - He LOVES superman and has picked up a few action-man figures on his own dime at garage sales and the like. And, he still has the superhero cape I made for him when he was just 3. Part of it is because he got glasses when he was little and was always told he looks like Clark Kent.
